ONEONTA – The Town of Oneonta’s proposed water district to serve the Big Box stores in Southside Oneonta and homes along parallel Southside Drive is hinging on Toronto-based realty firm that owns the Lowe’s property.
“If Lowe’s does not sign, the project is dead,” Town Supervisor Bob Wood said yesterday.
According to Wood, the service area, which would be served from a new plant to be built in Fortin Park, is divided into two districts, one primarily residential, the other primarily commercial.
